Second Vintage eBay Quilt

This second eBay quilt that I got from Dianne was in worse shape than the first. It was also stained and dusty and looked like it had been on a shelf for a long time. The blocks were in decent shape but there were holes in parts of the sashing. I found some fabric in my stash that looked similar and used that to make repairs. It was pretty wavy and wobbly but straightened out a bit after it was washed. I don't have any information as to who made this but I salute an unknown quilt sister from the past for doing the work. 

This quilt measures 70" x 84". The blocks were hand pieced and I did all of the quilting by hand with #8 Perle cotton thread. It has a scrappy binding and a wide text fabric for a backing.
